Part two!
Tattoos I did that I wish were mine.

1. Cool woodcut skull: it’s got everything you need, cool gradients, a skull, botanicals, woodcut style. What else is there???

2. A candlestick: I love the colors in this piece so much! We actually did this tattoo based on a tarot reading that I did for the client. This was his “ace of wands”

3. Scissors be scissoring: honestly, this client has one of my favorite quotes of all time. She said “Every interaction that I have with a man, I get a little gayer.” Girl, I HEAR YOU.

4. The Stevens 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Honestly, this is one of my favorite shows of all time and every time I rewatch it, I cry even harder. The songs are immaculate, the characters actually develop a lot. It’s just a masterpiece.

Keep an eye out for part 3 :)

Dm me or use the link in my bio to book a tattoo appointment. I appreciate you 🖤✨

Love, Peregrin

Here are some tattoos I did that I wish were mine!

1. A jar full of teeth: Teeth and bones are just something that I find super interesting and beautiful in a weird way.

2. Bluebells: Honestly, I love anything botanical! Flower are so pretty and there is even a secret meaning to flowers that you give to others. One of my favorites being white lilies for death, which I first learned about in a vampire book 🧛‍♀️

3. A Linework Peony: she’s simple, elegant, and makes a statement! What more could you ask for?

4: Ralof: This rendition of the first character that speaks in Skyrim is one of my favorite tattoos I’ve ever done. Skyrim is one of my all time favorite games and I’ve put way too many hours into it to prove this. I even have the thieves guild symbol tattooed behind my ear, but I’d like more!

If you like any of these topics, you should give me a follow and book a tattoo with me 🖤

THINGS YOU DON’T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR AS MY CLIENT

1. Needing to move the stencil: Tattoos are permanent! Your body is something that always needs to feel safe and loved by you. If you want to move the stencil, that’s totally okay! As long as we nail the placement before we start tattooing, I don’t care how many times we move it. This goes for piercing as well, if you don’t 100% like that dot placement, we can totally move it as many times as needed.

2. Needing to take a break: I will never be one of those artists that will scold you for needing to take a break. You need to use the
restroom, no problem. Back is sore and you want to stretch?Let’s do that! Feeling a little icky and want a snack/drink break? Friend, let’s go! I am ALL about making sure you re taken care of.

3. How your body reacts to pain: We don’t get to choose how our bodies reacts to pain. Some people sweat a ton, some bodies twitch a lot... all these things are okay. If you know how your body reacts, it’s cool to talk about it before hand. If not, we will handle things as they come. I’m not going to judge you for having a hard time.

4. Needing to bring moral support: If you want to bring a friend with you, that’s totally okay! The studio I tattoo out of isn’t huge, so I wouldn’t recommend bringing a gaggle of people. I usually find that getting tattooed, pierced, or going through any “hard experience” is a lot easier when you have the support of someone who knows you and cares about you.

5. Wanting to talk a lot or wanting silence: As a neurodivergent person, I know lots of us love talking! Lucky for you, I like listening. I have no problems with listening to you talk about your hyper-fixations, dating drama, wins, loses, share anything you feel comfortable with! On the flip side, if you prefer to wear headphones. I’m totally cool with that.
I may occasionally check in on you, but minimal talking is good for me.

The bottom line is: YOUR COMFORT MATTERS TO ME
No matter what arises, I’m flexible and I want you to have the best experience. If you ever have any questions at all before, during, or after your service:
I’m here for you!

Love, Peregrin :3

Happy Ostara, my friends. Today is the spring equinox: a time for new beginnings, manifestations, growth, and change. This time of year is always my “new year, new me” time. The warm weather breathes new life into my soul and the dread of winter is starting to let up. That being said, I have a few tattoo topics that I’m offering special rates on!

Please message me if you would like:
✨floral or botanical tattoos
✨animal tattoos
✨witchy tattoos (even ones that are spells: I can help you create this)
✨portrait tattoos
✨pretty lady tattoos
✨weapon tattoos
✨classic oil paintings as tattoos

I am looking to build more of a realism painterly style and I’m offering FANTASTIC rates on these topics.
Dm me or comment, to book your appointment.

My client got this tattoo to symbolize the love she carries for her best friend’s child. Our best friends sometimes end up being like our siblings, and honorary aunts or uncles to our children. If you have a friend like this, be thankful 😌

Our tattoos decorate the temple we spend the most time in. Covering self harm scars is something that is very near and dear to my heart. A decision we make in moments of despair should not haunt us forever. If you have scars you’d like to cover, I offer special rates for these projects.

You are worthy of healing.
You deserve to feel safe in your body.

The universe and beyond contain so many planets, stars, and mysteries that we haven’t uncovered yet. When this client chose her planet tattoo, it was a reminder to stay open to exploration and wonder. ✨

Happy 10th birthday, Stardew Valley!

One of my favorite cozy games, and a great way to wind down in the evening: Stardew Valley is always there for me. I really like going through the community center process and I just starting using mods for the first time! I usually marry Leah or Elliot (gingers are my favorite), but I plan on rizzing the wizard this time ☺️

I’ve had these two designs for a while and I’d love to get to do them. I’m planning on making them into stickers and prints too! I’m going to be working a few markets this year and I’m looking forward to that experience. Please message me if you’d like to book one of these designs or if you want something custom made :)

Who do you usually marry in Stardew Valley?

Throwback to this healed Black Phillip tattoo that I did on my brother in law, Phil.

Black Phillip is a physical manifestation of the devil in the movie called The Vvitch. Apparently this goat was such a nightmare to deal with on set, that he’s now happily retired.

I’d love to do more large scale work like this. Message me to book your next tattoo 🖤

Friendly reminder of our Tattoo & Piercing event on Friday, Feb 13th from 12-8 35 Milton Ave in Ballston Spa, NY!

Here are my two previous deal pages about realism tattoos, and piercings, as well as a full sheet of tiny tattoos. I’m also offering a “Bring a Friend” deal for both services, in which you get 10 off your total if you bring someone else to also get tattooed or pierced with you. You can get the same service, or different ones from me and still get that deal.

While walk-ins are okay, appointments are preferred. Services will be first, come, first serve: outside of guaranteed appointment times for the day.

Thanks for reading, and see you there.

#ballstonspany #queertattooartist #safepiercing #fridaythe13th #518tattoo

Hey frens! Here are some books that I read in January this year! Out of all of these, it’s super hard to pick a favorite but I definitely recommend all of them.

Sister, Maiden, Monster follows the experiences of three women individuals during a pandemic situation that triggers the apocalypse. There’s so many interesting topics in here. It’s a cosmic, feminist, body horror and has a lot of queer themes as well. Great book! Could not put it down.

A Certain Hunger is about a food critic who murders men that she’s slept with and eats a part of their body in meals that sound like fine dining. She’s telling her story from prison and gives all the details about her life from childhood to late adulthood. It was super interesting and I love how she talks about food and writing.

Everyone knows The Handmaid’s Tale. I felt like it was important to read during these times, as a femme queer person. It’s as good as the show, but the show definitely takes the story a lot further. Start with the book if you haven’t seen the show yet.

You Weren’t Meant To Be Human really made me feel a lot things. It’s about an autistic trans-man who is in a cult and finds himself in a really bad situation. There’s a lot of things about body & gender dysmorphia, domestic abuse, and gore in here so be weary if that’s something you wouldn’t want to experience while reading. I definitely related with the main character a lot in this and the ending was insane! I loved it.

I’m currently reading The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica. Which I’m super excited about because I absolutely loved Tender Is The Flesh.

What have you been reading?

Hello everybody! Ballston Spa is hosting a chocolate festival today: Friday, Feb 6th from 4pm-9pm.

Big changes for 2026:
This year I am going to be prioritizing my health, and my family. I am someone who suffers from several chronic illnesses, such as EDS, POTS, & Fibromyalgia, as well as being neurodivergent. I’ve spent a long time pushing my health to the side and my body is starting to show it.

I WILL BE MOVING TO AN APPOINTMENT ONLY BASIS
FOR SERVICES.

This will allow me to spend the time I need healing, and giving myself grace. Also, giving my children the love & attention they deserve.

TATTOO PRICING & INFO

Custom Work:
These types of tattoos will be charged at $150 an hour, and I will give you an estimate of how long I think it will take. If I quote a set price, it will only be that much and nothing more/less unless the design or size is changed.

Premade Designs & Flash:
I will either give you a set price, or charge $100
an hour for large projects.

I also offer half day (3 hours, $350) rates, and full day (6 hours, $700) rates. These appointments can be one or multiple tattoos.

I also have a pretty sick referral program.
For every 3 people that you refer to me, and I tattoo:
I will give you a free 2-3 inch tattoo.

My clients mean everything to me and I like to take care of my people. Please make sure that when you are referred by someone: that you provide their first and last name, so I can add it to my spreadsheet.

PIERCING APPOINTMENTS

These appointments can be booked via the link in my bio, or by sending me a message. Retainers are not needed for piercing appointments. I ask for 24 notice for these appointments, although I will post when I’m at the shop for same day appointments.

If you bring a friend to be pierced with you, you will both get $10 off your services.

I only pierce with high quality jewelry from companies certified by the Association for Professional Piercers
(APP). Although I am not a member, I do adhere to their standards and practices. Prices start at $60 for basic implant-grade titanium jewelry.

Some jewelry companies that I use are Neometal, Buddha, Junipurr, BodyCircle, Anatometal, People’s, and Khrysos.

Thank you so much for reading this! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to book. 🖤

Today, we took our kiddos to urban air to celebrate their birthdays! My son’s bday is on Jan 20th and my daughter’s is coming up on the 27th. So they are both 10 this week until Alaska’s birthday.

Usually, we do a cake and a special dinner on the actual day of their birthday, and do something cool the weekend in between!

My children, myself and their dad are all Aquarius suns. What’s your sun sign?

I’m excited to announce that I will be joining @kaycirose_tattoo and @alphie.tats at @immortaltattooco in Ballston Spa, NY.

After meeting Kayci & Alphie at the convention that I attended in October, I was super excited to see they had a spot open.

I’m changing a few things about how I operate, including moving to an appointment only situation for services. There will be a post explaining all of that soon! Please reach out to book an appointment with me for your tattoo, piercing, or pmu needs.

Thank you for all of your love and support, I’m looking forward to the future 🖤😌

Hey frens, so you know: I’ve officially stepped away from Apothecary Ink. I’m truly thankful for the opportunity and the experiences I gained during my time there. It was an important chapter, and I carry the lessons with me.

That said, this transition feels good. I’m excited, energized, and ready for what’s next. I’m looking forward to meeting new people, exploring new spaces, and stepping into opportunities that feel aligned with where I’m headed now.

I’ve got a great situation with grounded, positive people in the works, so keep an eye out for announcements about where I land. I’m genuinely excited for what’s ahead. 🖤
